Some good suggestions in here Wayne! Wanted to let you know about a cool feature in Filtrbox that allows you to track (and get real-time alerts) when specific people talk about specific topics on Twitter. Andrew Hyde @andrewhyde did a how-to video here. http://andrewhyde.net/filtrbox-hack-persistant-...

If you haven't played with the G2 version, drop me a line and I'll set you up with a trial account!

Thank you for sharing the ways that you minimize online noise and distractions. It's very easy to get sucked into checking your email all of the time and trying to keep up with the overload of information coming at you daily. Especially when it's available at your desk and when you're mobile. You express a great amount of discipline that many could model to stay focused and practice good time management :)

Taylor, not… :)

Sorry I don't have any stats around RSS usage. I wish I did though to prove some people wrong on how people are still using RSS feeds. BTW, I enjoyed your post and pictures from your recent trip.

Jason, thanks creating the “How I filter the noise” blog series. It has been interesting to read how others filter information online and it seems most people are trying to filter information on Twitter and various blogs. I'm glad I was able to contribute.

Ha, nice. Find some anonymous spammers to tell all. Maybe you could compose
a fiction post as satire from that perspective?

Jason, I vote that the next guest post series should be: “How I create the noise” featuring spammers, trolls, and bots.

@waynesutton: I've always wondered what one of the hardest working men in social media uses to keep up with everything...

Do you know of any stats around RSS usage? I hear the buzz that nobody really uses RSS anymore, but I a) haven't any numbers to prove it and b) think that the "problem" with RSS isn't the tech or the tools but the way we use it. I'll admit that there is plenty of room for innovation in the tools we use, building in filters, social rankings, etc., but it's still a pretty powerful tool if you know how to use it.

I'm glad you're following 1600 feeds so I don't have to :)

True. Find something that filters by relevance or filters by time. I would
say using smart people is another, but I suppose that is another kind of
relevance.

Will check on LazyFeed invites and see if I can get some for the blog.
Thanks.
